Another Year Gone By...

Two years ago today, I married my best friend.

I was not the type of girl who dreamed of my wedding day from the time I was eight. I never imagined my dress, my vows or even my honeymoon. However, as soon as Jonathan and I decided to take the plunge, we became the wedding planning duo of the century. I was fortunate that Jonathan joined me on this journey. That's really what made it fun. We picked the room, the cake, the colors, the music, the flowers - everything you could imagine. The only experience we didn't share was the selection of my wedding dress. It sounds cheesy to say I knew it when I saw it, but that's exactly what happened with the dress and with every aspect of our wedding.

For us, it was a perfect day, one we'll never forget as long as we live. And, at the end of the night, I had my very best friend beside me as we began our new life together. What could have been more perfect than that?

Welcome To Painted Pink Roses!

I chose to name my first blog "Painted Pink Roses" because pink roses have had a constant presence in my life since I was a little girl. This blog exists to share the beauty and love of home, family and daily life and to keep beautiful traditions alive. Painted Pink Roses is dedicated to my grandmother and great-grandmother, two glorious women who passed their love of beautiful things to me, my mother and my sister. And yes, roses are my favorite flowers, but I do not discriminate - I have all colors in my garden. I do think the pink ones smell the sweetest though. I hope you enjoy my blog!

In 2013, Painted Pink Roses moved to the Gerald & Joan Blog. To continue following our story, click here.
